Satellite Backhaul Market - Global Industry Forecast 2016 - 2024

Satellite
backhaul means getting data of program from one location which has to be
further distributed over large network. For example, a live television program
has to be telecast from Germany throughout the world and the program has to be
further distributed through the satellite terminals. The program signals have
to be backhauled by some means of network (optical fiber or by other satellite
system) and hence Satellite backhaul enables to get non-live video and audio
files which are broadcasted.

The
mobile industry has played an important role in cellular backhaul market
through satellite. Mobile technology has been advancing at a phenomenal rate.
Nowadays mobile devices are the primary way to access the internet by an
individual. For the mobile operators, the key challenge is to fetch some
innovative technologies to backhaul voice and data traffic. With the increasing
data traffic challenges, 3G and 4G technologies are deployed for the
competences of existing backhaul network and this trend is expected to surge in
years to come.

In
urban areas, many different technologies are being implemented to deal with
expanding demand including the use of metro Ethernet network, microwave network
and fiber optics. However, it is difficult to implement these services in rural
areas due to high cost associated with the backhaul technology (fiber and
microwave).

Satellite
Backhaul Market: Drivers

Applications
such as YouTube, WhatsApp, twitter and many other popular live streaming and
online surfing apps are driving the bandwidth demand. This demand gives an
opportunity for the various transmission service providers to bring innovative
technology to the market. The emergency communication cells over the satellite
are being developed by the satellite backhaul service providers and these
emergency communication cells are predominantly implemented in only those
locations which have significant cellular connectivity.

These
type of solutions are usually owned and operated by cellular operators where
mobile cell towers are connected with satellite backhaul solution.

Satellite
Backhaul Market: Regional Overview

Asia
Pacific (APAC) region currently leads the satellite backhaul market due to
emerging economies such as China and India and need for connectivity among the
masses. Further Europe and Middle East and Africa (MEA) regions are expected to
witness modest growth in satellite backhaul technology due to the diversity in
government’s economic performance and existing infrastructure which includes
combination of optical fibers and microwave networks.

The
market is segmented by type of transmission medium, backhaul technology and
geography. Transmission medium segmentation includes wired and wireless.
Segmentation based on type of backhaul technology includes fiber, copper,
microwave and millimeter wave and by geography includes North America, Europe,
Middle East and Africa (MEA), Asia Pacific (APAC) and Latin America.
